“Canite Tuba” or “Blow the Trumpet” is a popular Advent hymn that has been set to music by a number of composers of the 1500s and 1600s, including Hans Leo Hassler and Jacob Handl. This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion begins with the setting by Giovanni Palestrina, who lived from about 1525 to 1594. He became a chorister in a Roman church when he was 11 years old, eventually becoming an organist and choir director for a church in his hometown of Palestrina, located near Rome. Eventually, he held a number of positions with churches closely associated with the Vatican. Both Bach and Mendelssohn studied and were influenced by Palestrina’s music.
